FF 13 is just a multiplatform release.  This won't change 360s standing in Japan at all really.

I thought for sure Wada-san was going to make me buy a 360 there.... phew.  Bullet dodged.

So the rumors are true, the MS conference WAS a bomb.

The FFXIII thing was expected. Its true that it won't change the outlook of the 360 in Japan, but the PS3 losing a major exclusive still hurts.

Poor sony fanbois. I know what they're going through.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

I know it's shallow of me, but I breathed a sign of relief when the Xmote was nowhere to be seen.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!

So without the xmote announced does that mean that MS got double pwned by Nintendo's dongle?

FFXIII? But... but... Cell! This game can only be done with the power of Cell!

Microsoft spent a lot of money developing avatars and this "new Xbox 360 experience" but they will soon find out what many Wii owners found out.  The Miis are cool, but can become stale very quickly...it is temporary fun and not something to build an E3 show off of. 

Microsoft should of just left that alone...the Miis or Home are not going to be a huge selling point for either Wii or PS3. 

Nothing else in the show excited me.  Though I will say, that the Mortal Kombat vs DC had made me throw up on the inside.  I love my DC and that is just destroying everything I love about DC.

I think it might help them in Japan since the PS3 is no longer the console you must own if you want FF, you can go with the cheaper 360 which also has more games (has the most RPGs this gen I think). Previously the lack of FF was a reason to avoid the 360.

I did not expect anything HUGE from MS because from what I've learned from talking to their Franchise Manager, they do not consider E3 that big anymore. Regardless the FF13 announcement is quite big in that it hits Sony hard.

It's laffable so much of the last gen RE4 assets have been reused.  Way to go, HD gaming.
The controls are laffably stiff looking and dated.  More firepower?  Less scary.

Chris Redfield looks disgusting.

T-Virus Bad
Las Plagas Bad
Steroids Good

HULK SMASH

Huh?  No one's complaining that you can't shoot and strafe at the same time in a HD game?  Why is that, internet?

RE5 is looking like the same thing, but seriously what do you expect? They milked RE1s horrid control scheme for 3 other games (Not to mention the remakes). It is too bad there is no RE for Wii because they could actually innovate with the controller.

I actually expected improvements to RE5 since so much money is being thrown at it to be Call of Metal Gear4 w/ Zomboids.

RE is dead.  Mikami is gone.

damnit! why did netflix have to come out for the xbox??? !!! come on wii/ps3 netflix!

oh and ps3 will still have ff13 vs (whatever that is) probably still an exclusive.

the mii rip-off was blatent even for microsoft. besides they are not HARDCORE enough, i would expect MS Mii's to all be masterchief.

oh and here is the motion sensor thingy:http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/14/microsoft-announces-lips-karaoke-game-with-motion-sensitive-mics/

it is a microphone.
